Article - Dutch cops, NBI save kids from PH porn hell

MANILA, Philippines–The arrest of a Dutch national in the Netherlands last year on charges of child exploitation has traced the operations of child pornography activities in the Philippines, which uses girls ages 1 to 12 years who are not only forced to perform sexual acts but are also tortured to death.

One such victim died in the hands of her abuser, according to the National Bureau of Investigation.

“A video of a young girl being directed to perform oral sex by an older woman speaking in the Visayan dialect led the Dutch police here,” Eric Nuqui, head of the NBI Anti-Human Trafficking Division (Ahtrad), told the Inquirer.

According to Nuqui, a film clip provided by the Dutch police showed a naked 1-year-old with hands tied, legs drawn apart and crying nonstop while being tortured and sexually assaulted by a masked older girl. The victim has been identified in the video as “Daisy.”

The attacker on the video repeatedly whipped the baby girl and placed a duct tape on her lips to silence her cries. She had been tracked down by the NBI and identified as “Lovely,” a former live-in partner of Australian national Peter Gerard Scully, suspected producer of child pornographic videos starring young Filipino girls as young as 1 year old. He is now in the custody of the NBI.
